• 2026-09-16 - Product Launch - Tutor Intelligence unveils fully mobile Cassie for warehouse material handling

  Existing Cassie robots have completed millions of bulk picks in U.S. production facilities across depalletization, induction, palletizing and repackaging. The new hardware has onboard vacuum generation, two 3D lidar units alongside 2D lidar, and battery life claimed to exceed one shift. Tutor says most Cassie deployments begin picking on day one, with a median of about 40 days from signed paperwork to production.

• 2026-09-16 - Product Launch - Tutor Intelligence unveils next-generation Sonny for e-commerce picking

  The proposed workflow spans autonomous travel through existing warehouses, picking varied items from racking and taking completed orders to packout. Tutor says the new generation will be the first deployed robot running its 4.5-billion-parameter Ti0 vision-language-action model. An earlier Sonny prototype powers Tutor’s 100-robot Data Factory 1 for robot training and evaluation.

• 2025-11-14 - Demonstration - Tutor Intelligence showcases palletizing and depalletizing robots at Pack Expo Las Vegas 2025

  Tutor demoed its palletizing robot at Pack Expo Las Vegas 2025 and used the show to engage manufacturers, packagers, and logistics teams dealing with labor shortages and staffing instability. The company positioned the showcase around flexible automation and its subscription-based Robots-as-a-Service model rather than a one-off hardware sale. Tutor said the event reinforced demand for automation that can adapt to short runs, changing SKUs, and volatile operating conditions without large upfront capital risk.
